5.0 out of 5 stars
One of her best in quite a while,
By Janet (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: At Home in Stone Creek (Stone Creek #6) (Silhouette Special Edition #2005) (Mass Market Paperback)
I like LLM books and buy every one that comes out, but I don't like them all equally. Some have been a disappointment, actually (the Creed trilogy for example). Others have been pretty good. At Home in Stone Creek, however, is the best I've read from her in a long while. It truly stands out from the others she's written lately. It was a wonderful mix of family, reconnecting with family, a little suspense, and a great romance. A very sweet, emotional and well-developed romance (no stereotypical misunderstanding that tears the couple apart, but instead an emotional and mature reason for the distance).
Of all the LLM books I've read (I haven't read them all-there are so many on her backlist) The Last Chance Cafe remains my favorite, but I have to say this one comes awfully close to that one for me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A Home in Stone Creek. It's rich and romantic.

At Home in Stone Creek,
By CORTEGA (The Great North) - See all my reviews
This review is from: At Home in Stone Creek (Stone Creek #6) (Silhouette Special Edition #2005) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was one of those stories that could have been good if it had some substance to it. Ashley O'Ballivan love Jack McCall, a mercenary who seems to come and go in her life. He loves her also, but his job is dangerous and unpredictable. After his last mission, he finds himself seriously ill and in his feverish state, he just wants to be taken to Stone Creek where Ashley runs a B&B. He isn't there long before it is discovered that his last mission is coming back to bite him: the child he rescued is not safe after all, and he has been infected with a bone marrow toxin. Ashley's brother, Brad, is furious that Jack has brought potential harm to Ashley and the O'Ballivan families. Jack agrees to leave. In the meantime, the child and mother are back on the run from a crazy drug-trafficker ex-boyfriend of the mother's, so Brad O'Ballivan calls in favors to see them hidden. Also, the drug trafficker wants to meet up with Jack and go mano-o-mano and have a shoot out in Tombstone, Arizona. That part was really stupid, btw. There was all this build up of who would wind up dead and in 2 seconds flat the bad guy is dead. Talk about anti-climactic!
Jack, though, is now overcome with the bone marrow toxin and he is jetted off to his father's home for a bone marrow transplant and recovery. Only Jack isn't recovering. His brother calls Ashley and tells him Jack needs her; she shows up and Jack is only sort of glad to see her. She begs him to fight for his life and full recovery, telling him she may be pregnant. They take a test and find out she is. They decide to get married and move back to Stone Creek and get married. They have a little baby, Katie, and Jack receives the news that the bone marrow situation is all clear. There is some middle stuff, with family characters that is just filler and you don't really care about, but mostly, I was waiting for something to happen, but it was really all just one dimensional and nothing to write home about. Let's put it this way, you don't close the book and say, "Damn, that was so good!" You just sort of say, "Okay, whatever. Not great, not horrible. Wouldn't read it again."
